About
LakeFest Oakland, founded in 2018 in Oakland, CA, celebrates the rich culture and diversity that makes the city unique. Created by Oakland natives and operated by a dedicated team of Bay Area residents, LakeFest has grown into one of the largest cultural celebrations in Oakland.
LakeFest is more than just a festival—it’s a heartfelt tribute to Oakland's history, creativity, and resilience. In recognition of its impact, former Mayor Libby Schaaf officially declared June 21st as LakeFest Day in Oakland.
